Beachfront vacation rentals in East Haven

Alexandra’s place was a great stay for our weekend get away. Short walk to the beach and near anything else you might need. Alexandra was very responsive and accommodating to any questions we had.

We had a great stay at this cottage- it was a perfect size for our family and was extremely clean, warm and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the quick walk to the beach, and proximity to town. Hosts were very friendly and responsive but never intrusive. Would highly recommend.

Great location on wide, beautiful, private beach! Lots of outdoor space on beach and patio with grill for BBQ. Kayaks and SUPs were at provided, too. House is surprisingly spacious with seating for many in living room and dining table. Kitchen is large and supplied with basics needed for stay. Primary bedroom is huge and all the beds are very comfortable! Jillian was great with communication. Had a great time with our family spending days on beach, grilling dinner and bonfires at night!

Fantastic stay in a beautiful house. Everything just as described. Can’t rate Matthew highly enough - great communication, recommendations, flexible and friendly.

We were so happy with everything throughout our stay! The house had everything we needed including some extras for our kids that we hadn’t thought of! The furniture was really comfortable, and they had nice new beach stuff for us to use as well. We loved Walnut Beach and being able to walk to get coffee and ice cream. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay! Great hosts, comfortable and beautiful home! Easy walk to the ocean! Kitchen stocked with all the pots, pans, etc. we needed to cook thanksgiving dinner! Truly they thought of everything, from games to an extra set of binoculars. We had a great time!

The photos don't do it justice—this charming place is even more spacious than it looks online. The vintage decor added a cozy touch that made us feel right at home. Highly recommend!

Incredible Views and Ultra-Comfortable Cottage! This is an absolute hidden gem of a place - it is RIGHT on the water (you feel like you're on a cruise ship at high tide, and falling asleep to the sound of the waves is super dreamy!), immaculately clean, both cozy and spacious, filled with thoughtful touches (extra blankets and pillows, earplugs, welcome snacks, etc.), and REAL PLANTS!! Matthew and Celia were so flexible, friendly, and responsive, making the entire stay feel all the more peaceful. This is for sure the place we will return to when in the New Haven area - highly highly recommend!

The place matched the description perfectly and much more spacious than what one usually finds for a single bed/bath apartment. I enjoyed the stay and would return again. For me it was a perfect place to accommodate overflow thanksgiving guests over the holiday.

The house and landscaping were lovely, our girls loved the huge yard to play in and the cozy TV room for downtime. Spencer was super responsive and helpful, we appreciated the area recommendations for exploring. We had a great visit and would highly recommend a stay here!

Gina's place is in a lovely beach community within easy walking distance to one of Fairfield's many beaches.`You can walk for miles! Plus, it is very near downtown Fairfield, with it's many restaurants, shops and great music venues. This home has been beautifully renovated and has a very welcoming feel. Tons of light and coziness throughout. The master, with a king bed and private bath, is spacious and comfy. The kitchen is gorgeous, and lovely to cook in. We had a family post-Thanksgiving dinner here and Gina gladly added an extra table leaf for our comfort. She is a thoughtful, communictive host and I highly recommend:)

Such a beautiful condo by the water! Too bad we stayed in November, we would have enjoyed the terrace way more! Mia was so responsive and helpful with my questions prior to the weekend at her place.

This house was absolutely perfect for my friends and I to gather together. The space was so comfortable and open which is perfect for a large group. We could all be doing something different but still close and comfortable. The location was perfect, easy parking between the driveway and street spots. The house had everything we needed, great bedroom setups. We didn’t have any kids with us but this would be a perfect place for facilities to come together. We want to come back in the summer and use the pool! Wouldn’t change a thing if we were to rent this home again. The host was super helpful and responsive and very friendly. 10/10 experience overall.

such a relaxing and beautiful place! we loved the location and home.

Such a lovely home right on the water! Spent a cozy New Year’s Eve here with 6 people, great location to downtown Greenport. The home has a ton of character, one of the reasons we’d love to be back!

Julie was nice and quick to respond.

We booked this last minute as we were coming to celebrate Christmas with my family. We were going to be getting in very late, so I asked if that would be ok. Also, we thought it would be easier if my parents checked us in and set up the crib and toddler bed for the kids and she was very understanding and let us make that accommodation. The rooms were all clean and set up and it was perfect for what we needed. Great location. Definitely would book here again if we are in the area

We lived in Joseph’s fantastic place as a team of 4 chaperons and 7 teenagers attending the tournament of champions at Yale University. Everything about this listing is fantasy - proximity to the beach and amenities, the decor, furniture and fixings, and Joseph’s super speed in response and guidance. Every one of us was stoked and it’s a place we’d love to come back to and call home again after a while.

This is truly a gem. It's a sweet little cottage that has a genuine cozy feel to it. It also felt very roomy and had a very inviting lived-in feel. It has everything you could EVER need and fully stocked with all the essentials for cooking and entertaining a small family. Donna was a wonderful host and we fully intend to stay with her again next year!

We had a great time at Jenn's rental. The house was very clean, spacious and comfortable for a big family. Jenn was incredibly responsive and accommodating throughout our stay, making sure we had everything we needed and providing useful suggestions. We would definitely recommend this listing to any family visiting Milford and we'd love to be back in the summer to enjoy the beach.

Aimee’s house on Shelter Island was the perfect getaway for Thanksgiving. The home is warm, inviting, and beautifully maintained, with thoughtful touches that made our stay extra special. The location is serene and peaceful, offering a true escape from the hustle and bustle. Aimee was a fantastic host—responsive, friendly, and helpful throughout. We truly enjoyed our time here and wouldn’t hesitate to return!

We booked Chase's home SUPER last minute and Mary was incredibly accommodating in getting us right in. We couldn't have been happier with the home, location, or hosts. It was the perfect long weekend getaway for our 4 adults and two kids under 2. It seemed like almost a new home, everything in pristine condition and very tasteful decor. We like the lazy susan they had on the dining table so much we ordered one for our home! Just an awesome experience all around! Thanks Mary! Top tip: IF you want to walk out to Charles Island at low tide you actually need to arrive to the crossing point 30 minutes or BEFORE low tide. We trekked out there with the kids AT low tide and were instructed by the local life guards that it was already too late to cross as there wouldn't be enough time to get to the island and back. No biggie and it was still VERY cool to be out in the ocean on a narrow strip of sand. Also, we found Jimmy's Apizza to be great pizza when you inevitably order out.

We had a wonderful time! The cottage is well located; we were able to drive back & forth to New London, Mystic, & several other towns. We did so many things on this trip: saw a movie, saw a play, went to Ocean Beach twice, Mystic Seaport, & the Yale Peabody museum. My only complaint is that we should have stayed "home" more & enjoyed our own beach more often! We took walks every day and watched for the tide to reveal the sand bar & walked out there whenever we could, which was so cool! The sound of the water changed when the sandbar was revealed. We found lots of cool shells. We really appreciated the chairs & umbrella in the well stocked shed. We did a little grocery shopping and made egg sandwiches so we only ate out once a day which saved money. I ate my sandwiches outside day & night, something I never do at home. The house was completely stocked with everything needed plus some! The only negative was not enough curtains which made it too bright to sleep & not enough privacy.

Nice place to stay. Responsive host. Accurate photos and loved the location. Will definitely be back.
